With an estimate by nationally known opinion polls that more people than ever before will be taking part in the national elections tomorrow the Pennsylvania State College has issued a statment that students' of eligible age and who are registered may be excused to vote. The high enrollment of veteran students who are of the age to cast a ballot has made this •move neces sary. It has been pointed out, how ever, that this accommodation on the part of the administration is not to be used as a "loop-hole" to get free from classes. Teachers have been notified to pass this word on to their students in the various classes. It is not be lieved, however, that too many Ha zleton Undergraduate Center stu dents will need to be free from classes since few students live very far from the college. Polling 'places will be open from 7 o'clock in the morning to 8 o'clock tomorrow night. 41:1 5' 14 "PA tit giAalt N.

Teams Discussed By Baseball Pros When Danny Lithwiler's All Stars played in Bloomsburg prior to ap pearing at Cranberry Park October 24, a Bloomsburg State Teachers College sportswriter queried the team members on their opinions of National League teams this year. The ensuing story gives an insight into a player's idea of the national pastime. Ron Northey and Billy Cox may think the St. Louis Cardinals and Brooklyn Dodgers, respectively, were the best teams in the National League this :past season, but Vern Bickford, sensational rookie pitcher, has proof that his Braves were the pick of the crop. "Sure," said Bickford in response to Ron Northey's assertion last week that all the clubs were as strong as ever, "we're all good, but the Braves led the league in hitting; we led the league in fielding, and we had the best pitching record. How can you beat that ?" "Cleveland," said Vern, "is a good, sound ball club with a great (Continued on page 4) WIN $lOO,OOO SEE PAGE 1 November 1, 1948
